When I first move the book over to the Kindle (via Calibre) I show the file name with a .mobi extension and a folder with .sdr extension (picture 1). When I go into the .sdr folder I see one file with an .apnx extension (picture 2). After ejecting the Kindle and opening the book, when I reconnect the Kindle I see two more files in .sdr folder (picture 3). These have azw3f and an azw3r extensions. Does the Kindle somehow convert the .mobi file into a KFX (azw3) file? I think I'm just confusing the issue. I know for certain I'm confused. When I copy the file I've converted to .azw3 to my Kindle, I get the same folder, and when I disconnect and reconnect, I get the same two azw3f and azw3r files in that folder. So, apparently, the Kindle is somehow converting .mobi files to .azw3 files? As I say. I'm confused and let someone else figure this out. I guess the book I randomly chose had no hyphenation, so the test is flawed. But I'm not sure how my .mobi file is working like an KFX file with the fonts? |

The mobi file may have been a dual mobi (containing both mobi and azw3). I seem to remember that the Baen mobis are actually dual mobis.

I haven't got a clue how to do this. Even though I used the eBook editor in Calibre, so far I can't find any reference to hyphenation in the book's two css files. I'm guessing the "hyphenation: none;" command has to be inserted somewhere, but I don't know where to insert it. |

Thanks! EDIT: That must be it. When I tried the same file in my Kindle Keyboard, it didn't create the two azw3x files. So my random .mobi selection was from the wrong source if I really wanted to test a .mobi file. Last edited by rcentros; 06-21-2024 at 02:17 PM. |

The way I do it is as follows: First, I convert an epub to epub to bulk remove all existing hyphenation rules, if any (I usually do this with several ebooks at once). In the conversion settings (Look & Feel - Styling - Other css properties) I add -epub-hyphens, -webkit-hyphens, -moz-hyphens, adobe-hyphenate, hyphens After that, I use the Modify Epub plugin (Append Extra css) to bulk insert the following code in all those converted epubs: Code:
body { -epub-hyphens: none; adobe-hyphenate: none; -webkit-hyphens: none; -moz-hyphens: none; hyphens: none; } |

It must be a very old Kindle, as even the Kindle Keyboard from 2010 can read azw3 files.

The DXG can't though the same age, because it is too much an earlier DX / K2 type design, just with an upgraded screen. It probably hasn't enough RAM. The K1, K2 and DX only read plain mobi/KF7, which was hardly changed from when Amazon bought Mobipocket. The original azw is simply mobi with later Amazon DRM. The PW3 got FW update for KFX. I don't know which older Kindles don't do KFX, but K3 doesn't. KFX covers multiple formats internally. Dual Mobi is mobi KF7 and azw3 KF8 in one file. It does seem to work at least on a DXG (gets mobi version). The K3 Aa menu seems to select original mobi (any not Publisher option) and azw3 in a dual mobi. Any Kindle without a Publisher option in Aa is old mobi only. The PW3 I have seems to ignore the old mobi in Dual mobi even if Publisher isn't selected in Aa, but will display actual old mobi. |

Most of the PD used to offer mobi and Kindle (azw3). I think Gutenberg now calls their mobi a "Kindle", but I don't know if it's dual mobi. Many claim to offer a special epub for Send to Kindle, but actually a simple epub2 will work for STK and Kobo, despite what Standard eBooks claim. Mobi predates Kindles. The prc is a kind of mobi. Mobipocket book also had pdb, but that's actually for the Mobipocket app on the PalmOS and barely better than a typewriter. The prc/mobi is much better, but still atrocious compared to azw3/epub2 or the 1998 Open Electtonnic Book that's really epub1. You don't want to ever use old mobi, except for the four dinosaur Kindles (K1, K2, DX, DXG), which are terrible anyway, though the DXG has at least a Pearl screen. |

It is a Kindle Keyboard, but it doesn't make the azw3f and azw3r files like the Kindle 8. I have no idea what the files (attached) mean, however.

I use the editor to edit the rest of the formatting (margins, line-height, text indents, chapter headings, abnormal font sizes and so on), as that must be done individually to get the best results. |
